I could never quite work out why my system sometimes sound a little bass-shy. My Restek amp has the grunt, Totem Arros don't do the bottom octave but again have the reputation of far more bass than their size would suggest. So where the hell was the bass going but not always?
Even I hoover occasionally. I tend to drag my Ekornes Stressless out of the way to get to all the biscuit crumbs that accumulate after several months (only joking). The Arros fire down he length of the room with the chair roughly 2/3s down from the speakers. About a week ago, I moved the chair forward by just over a foot & to my utter amazement, the bass output increased substantially - not just double!
Experimenting a little, my chair was in the room's bass dead-zone. The lesson being it's not just the speaker location that effects bass, nor the cables, spikes or incantations but the damn listening position!
